An optical ritual that seeks not to show, but to summon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on an archive of slides taken in Quer\u00e9taro, Mexico, during the 1960s by amateur photographer Federico Lozada, this piece proposes a sensorial drift: the projector&#8217;s light passes through constantly rotating objects, blurring the images and opening up reading thresholds toward a narrative that seeks not clarity, but reverberation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The image becomes a spectral body, a distortion, a vibrating residue. The sound, coming from a modified version of the Shutter soundtrack (Bangjong Pisanthanakun and Parkpoom Wongpoom), acts as an emotional medium, sustaining a trance-like state that connects the viewer with a nostalgia that doesn&#8217;t belong to them, yet drags them along as if remembering something they never experienced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here, remembering isn&#8217;t looking back, but rather opening cracks in time. As Derrida suggests in <em>The Spectres of Marx<\/em>, for something of the future to emerge, it is necessary to work through mourning: to build a dam from which the ghosts of the past filter out, not as fixed replicas, but as moving presences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>A knot that is also a star <\/em>is not just an intervened image: it is a vibrant field where the archive breathes, the reflection multiplies, and the light\u2014as it passes through the objects\u2014weaves a choreography of appearances that we can barely name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Text by Natalia Colina<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Knot That Is Also a Star is an expanded cinema installation, a real-time visual act where light becomes a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":8655,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[302],"tags":[],"event":[293],"venue":[238],"class_list":["post-9176","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sin-categoria-2","event-proyector2025-en","venue-quinta-del-sordo-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
